After being sacrificed to Eros [Greek mythology]

maritime.

The fishing boat was staggering, and the sea was turbid. From the boat, you could see the intertwined seaweeds winding up, like hands catching someone.

Psyche hid in the corner, his heart fluttered like seaweed.

The sudden appearance of Aldos pushed her into a dilemma.

Originally, everything was arranged seamlessly, and with her resourceful sister by her side, the two could discuss and solve many troubles.

Now it's all right, she's fighting alone.

With a "creak", the door of the boat opened.

Aldous brought a plate of sea fish to Psyche, "It's good to have a bite."

Psyche glanced at it lightly, but didn't move.

"Why did you change the course privately?"

Although she has no experience in going out to sea, she has a map in her hand after all.

From the time the ship set foot on this sea area, it sailed in the opposite direction.

At first, Aldous lied to her that he was taking a short cut... But the lie was so clumsy that it was exposed at a glance.

Aldos didn't explain, and silently clenched his fists.

He neither speaks sophistry, nor does he bother to speak.

Psyche stared at him with burning eyes, "Where are you taking me?"

Aldos put down the plate suddenly and put his hands in front of her, "Princess, trust me, I will take you to a completely safe place, those people will never find us!"

Psyche took a step back, pinching the space between his brows in annoyance.

Could he not be so childish?

If there was affection between them before, this incident has completely exhausted the affection.

"How many times have I told you that I really have something important to do." She said in a low voice but firmly, "...If you are still sensible, send me back."

Aldos' eyes suddenly became dry and cold.

"Whether you like it or not, I'm afraid you won't be able to get off this boat."

Seeing that it was useless to speak softly, he simply tore his face, "Look at the distance."

In the distance, dozens of small black dots followed closely, threatening to surround them—they were all ships sent by King Chloe to hunt them down.

"How did they come after them?"

With so many people, if they are caught up, they will have no power to fight back.

However, Chloe has been looking for her for so long but has not found her, so why did she suddenly come after her today?

Psyche looked at Aldous in surprise and suspicion, but there was only indifference and peace in the other's eyes.

"There is no need to doubt, those people were recruited by me on purpose. Princess, there is only one way in front of you. If you don't follow me, those people will arrest you. The only one you can rely on now... is me."

Aldous had been plotting this plan for a long time.

Psyche is tough on the outside and inside, if he doesn't exert some external force, he will never follow him easily.

Aldous admitted that it was mean, but it was okay to be mean for the love of his heart.

The monster who took Psyche back then was a thousand times meaner than him, didn't she still submit?

As long as she is willing to be by his side, he swears that he will take care of her and treat her well, and protect her with his life.In time, he will surely move her and make her understand his intentions.

But Psyche in this room was trembling with anger at his manipulation to lure wolves into the room.

The man in front of her was no longer rational, and the care and love he thought he had was full of malice in her eyes.

Chloe is her father-killing enemy.Once upon a time, they fought side by side and regarded Chloe as a sworn enemy.

Now, Aldos actually used the enemy in turn to make her submit?

No matter how good-tempered Psyche was, he also let out bursts of sneer.

"You're crazy," she said gravely.

"Yes, I am mad," said Aldous. "Psyche, you are my only one. For you, I would rather be a madman."

While speaking, dozens of ships behind them were getting closer and closer, and they were about to catch up.

But Aldos did not increase the speed of the ship, and looked indifferent.

Presumably, if Psyche refuses to agree, he will die together.

Psyche's mind was dull for a while, and she soon realized that she could not be stubborn with Aldous.

It would never end well in Chloe's hands, but she also never wanted to go far away with Aldous... She had to mediate between the two to settle the two.

After a moment of silence, Psyche chose to compromise temporarily.

"I can go with you, you can take me anywhere." She tried to use a calm tone, "However, you still have to send me to Koliat Island, only there can break the bond between me and the monster After that, I can follow you."

Aldos raised his lips suspiciously when he heard this.

"Princess, you didn't lie to me again, did you?"

Psyche snorted.

Her heart was like a ball of cotton wool, extremely depressed and dull, but she still had to hold back her temper.

"Chloe has been recruited by you, do you think I still have a way out?" She paused, "Adous, you are...a bit disappointing."

Temple of Aphrodite.

It is located in the depths of the sea of ​​clouds in Olympus, adjacent to the vast Aegean Sea, where flowers and tender grasses of various colors bloom all year round. Anyone who comes here for the first time will be amazed by its beauty.

Aphrodite's love of beauty is not only reflected in the gorgeous palace, but also in her own appearance.

Every day, she spends a long time dressing up, and she will not come out to see people until her body is so beautiful that there is no trace of blemish.

Outside the bead curtain, Cupid was half leaning against the wall, looking at his mother's hands with makeup, trying to draw her attention back.

"...Just like that, the golden arrow shot at me by accident, maybe it was destined. Don't you think this fate is amazing?"

He briefly talked about the events of these days, but Aphrodite didn't seem to respond—she was busy picking out a belt on hand.

Cupid was helpless, "Excuse me, are you listening to me?"

"My dear Cupid, when did you come?" Aphrodite looked over gently, "...Hey, what did you just say, what happened to the golden arrow?"

Cupid had no choice but to repeat the words again.

Aphrodite's eyes were all on the smeared lip balm, and she said absently, "Oh, I was so careless."

Cupid frowned.

Why did he feel that she didn't remember Psyche at all?

Then she was so angry that she insisted that he go to harm other people's little girl?

The envoy invited him aside, "The Goddess of Beauty has been very forgetful recently, she is going to grab the golden apple from Hera and the others today, and all her thoughts are there."

Cupid raised his eyebrows calmly.

It seems that this trip was for nothing.

Slowly climbing down the steps from the Temple of the Goddess of Beauty, the golden sun hangs in the middle of the sky, shining all over the earth.

Cupid thought a lot.

The gods of Olympus have always been loose and do whatever they want, and he was too cautious before.

But luckily it's not too late.

He and she will still look alike in the future.

The long-lasting melancholy clouds in his heart were about to dissipate, Cupid thought, he didn't have to wait until the night, he would go to her now.

Zephyros, the god of the west wind, came to look for him and teased him, "I said, what is there to like about a mortal woman that is worth your time? It's been so many days, and you've always been frowning."

Cupid glanced at him, "What do you know?"

"I don't quite understand," Zephyros scratched his head, "But, does she have a public face? Today I saw a girl who looked similar to her at the pier. I took a cold look and thought It's her... If I didn't know she lives in the forest, I would have gone to say hello rashly."

Cupid blinked questioningly.

Public face?Just kidding.

His wife is the most beautiful girl in the entire city-state, well, even he, the god of love, was amazed when he first saw her.

"You're talking nonsense again..."

Cupid took a deep look at Zephyrus, and was about to say something joking, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

In this world, how can there be so many people who look similar?

Seeing that he was suddenly silent, Zephyrus said, "What's the matter?" After a pause, he smiled, "You don't think Psyche really ran away with someone, do you?"

Cupid's eyes turned cold, and it was too late to tell Zephyros.

Almost using some kind of divine sense, he teleported to the palace in the forest - where the curtains were drawn, the quilts were neatly laid out, and the sound of needles falling could be heard in such silence.

People take tea to cool off.

Cupid's eyes were as deep as a cold pool, and the glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered.

Well, it's fine.

... The person on the pier was actually her.

Zephyrus also chased after him out of breath, and saw Cupid standing alone in the darkness.

His slender and curved wings hang down on the ground, as if his soul has been sucked out, full of fragile beauty, he looks desolate and pitiful.

Zephyros couldn't help asking softly, "What happened?"

Cupid turned around, and the clear sunlight shone on his light-colored pupils, dazzling and acidic.

But he seemed numb and didn't know how to avoid it.

"She ran away."
